Presidential candidate will also attend fundraisers for her campaign.
By City News Service
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to speak today at East Los Angeles College amid a planned protest by Latino students and community groups and to raise funds for her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Clinton will discuss her plans to raise incomes for families, break down the barriers that hold Californians back, keep America safe and bring the country together, an aide said.
Members of Union del Barrio, MEXA of East Los Angeles College, LA Brown Berets and several other student and community-based organizations plan to march seven blocks in Monterrey Park from Belvedere Park to East Los Angeles College to protest what organizers call Clintons attacks on working-class communities of color and her 2002 vote as a senator in favor of the resolution authorizing military action against Iraq.
This event is to let Hillary know that she is not welcomed in Los Angeles and to raise community awareness of what she really represents. We will let the community know that either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton would make terrible presidents, said organizer Ron Gochez, referring to the real estate tycoon and television personality who is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
This action is strictly to protest against Hillary Clinton and not in support of any party and/or candidates.

And that is wrong.
This is a community-based protest. Not a Sanders event.
